Frontispiece of a book, the title page says 'A Mourning-Ring, In Memory of your Deparrted Friend' and lists the contents of the book. There are four images - one shows a man in a winding sheet. The second shows a funeral in a room with people gathered around crying and clasping hands to breasts. The thirs shows the coffin being born by people in a processession into a church door. The final one shows the coffin being put into a grave, with mourners and the minister around it.
